Then-State Senator Barack Obama championed a law in 2004 to collect data about traffic and pedestrian stops conducted by police in Illinois. Proposed legislation in Springfield - House Bill 1613 - looks to ensure Obama's legacy and make this data collection permanent. Bill sponsor Rep. Justin Slaughter joins TALKING LIBERTIES to discuss this legislation and we speak with Richard Jackson, a Navy veteran subjected to a bad traffic stop in Chicago.
